Question

how we can play front foot drives if ball is in good length??? no spamming

Answer 1

Back-foot strokes are often underestimated in comparison to front-foot ones, purely because to the naked eye they may not seem as attractive. Make no mistake though, the former take as much skill and finesse to execute perfectly, as the latter.

Front-foot strokes are a treat to the eye. It is important to have a good sense of recognition of the length and pace of the incoming delivery, to execute them perfectly, apart from possessing an excellent timing.

Defense:

While the back-foot defense is applied to counter a ball pitched just short of good length, the front-foot defense needs to be adopted when the ball is pitched on good length, in a straight line with the stumps. The purpose of this shot is to block out a potentially dangerous delivery, rather than to try and score off it.

The head and front shoulder should shift in the line of the ball, with the front leg coming right up to the pitch of the ball. Failing to do this could easily result into missing the shot altogether, with the ball going in between the bat and pad. The back leg should remain straight.

As the ball approaches, bend the front knee, as it will help in getting on top of the ball, and thus reduce the chances of edging. The arms and palms should be kept relaxed too, without trying to force on the ball. The purpose is to just block out. The face of the bat, when brought down to make contact with the ball, should be straight. The point of contact between the bat and the ball should be beneath the eyes.

The bat should be just in front of the pads, with minimal distance between the in a straight line. The heel of the back-foot should be raised, and the position should be stilled, rather than following through.

Drives:

There isn’t much difference in how to play the front-foot drives from the defense, except for the point of impact of the bat on the ball, where the bat play is extended, and the result is a scoring shot, rather than a blocking one.

It is vitally important to get to the pitch of the ball, and keep the head still and in front of the vertical line of the pads. The weight should be shifted forward with the front knee bent a little, and the top hand firm, unlike the relaxed grip for a defensive shot. A drive is timed perfectly only if the top hand does most of the work, with the bottom hand used only to support. The bat should follow through in the line of the shot, and accelerate through a straight line.
